bouncing after lift...

[El Barto]

This weekend I installed a 2,5" leveling kit with extention brackets for re-use of the Mopar shocks.
Now the suspension bounces very quick and feels a lot harder.
Is there a way to upgrade to more comfortable ride? New shocks perhaps and which?

Did you fully loosen your control arms/bars and then retorque them once the vehicle was on the ground? If not then you may have preload in your bushings

What's your base model and what other mods, if any, have been made from the stock configuration?
Tires, wheels, etc.

If you lift you change suspension geometry. Before I installed geometry correction brackets my Mojave was quite bouncy.

Leveling kits that just use spacers and not a spring replacement tend to ride a bit harsher. That is the compromise of those types of lifts.

If the suggestion that @Darkspeed mentions of loosening and re-torquing the control arms does not bring satisfactory results, then you have to look into a proper full suspension kit with springs and shocks to bring back a better ride.

Yes I did.

I was planning to install the AEV brackets as well. But on the passenger side I could not retract the top bolt... On the ecodiesel you have to remove the exhaust... To much work...

I just did the geo brackets on the diesel. you dont have to remove the exhaust. it looks like it wont come out but if you take your time it will. you can work the bolt at an angle and it will come out without removing anything or cutting it. then when you put it back put it in from the other direction.

I prefer the Rancho Geo brackets because you and choose different holes for caster change.

I wiggled the bolt around and removed part of the insullation op the cat, but no way the bolt came out...
The AEV brackets have small plates to adjust the caster from 2,5" lift till 4,5"...

On My US 2023 eco Diesel, there was one angle where with some effort the bolt could be pushed out.
